I don't see why not.  As long as they're GNOME-based or at least come
with the GNOME Desktop Environment, I see no reason not to create a page
under http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility listing these distros.  You
and Tony have both demonstrated the value of these spinoffs as upstream
contributions to a11y.

And while I still philosophically believe that ultimately we should not
have to need such spinoffs, your efforts currently show that there is
value and help pave the way to the true philosophy of a11y.
